Mount Waddington B offers small‑island ease and big‑backyard adventure on the North Island. Centered on Malcolm Island’s Sointula and the unincorporated portions of Cormorant Island near Alert Bay, it delivers front‑row access to the Salish Sea. Kayakers and boaters prize nearby Broughton Archipelago Marine Park, while day trips to Telegraph Cove and runs for supplies in Port McNeill keep amenities close without sacrificing quiet.
Families value schooling through School District 85 (Vancouver Island North), including A.J. Elliott Elementary in Sointula; older students attend North Island Secondary in Port McNeill. Cultural life is rich, from Sointula’s Finnish heritage to Kwakwaka’wakw traditions celebrated at the U’mista Cultural Centre across the water. Regular sailings on the Port McNeill–Sointula–Alert Bay triangle via BC Ferries and flight connections from Port Hardy make getting around straightforward, while the Regional District of Mount Waddington coordinates local services and recreation.
Out here, residents trade traffic for tide tables: fishing before work, whales offshore at lunch, and starry skies after dinner. Whether you’re seeking year‑round seaside living or a base for creative projects and remote work, Mount Waddington B delivers close‑knit neighbours and room to breathe.
